Having said that: worst game ever - WHO LETS ME KILL ADORABLE CATS ON ACCIDENT?  That is WICKED and MESSED UP.  :(  I'm sorry I swear I didn't mean it kittens, I swear it wasn't my fault :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Besides the obvious cruelty of the game, it was really well put together - I got burninated the first play through at around 3000 and decided to try again, this time cheating (because it's okay to cheat against anyone who makes you kill kittens.)  I... got burninated again like 30 seconds in &gt;&lt;  The gameplay is great, moving and shooting feels smooth (although too smooth, poor kittens) - and it's overall pretty good.  Great entry with great humor!"},{"author_name":"StencylTuo","author_uid":"36095","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 2:37am","epoch":1398825120,"text":"Definitely one of the better entries I've seen.

There's a \"Port\" for Tablet\/Mobile HTML 5. I've really only tested this in my iPad2, and it works well.\r\n\r\nFor the port, I changed:\r\n - bugfix: staircases should be placed where you can't get to them anymore\r\n - changes to menu screen (minor) \r\n - input changes for touch support\r\n - audio controls! mute and change volumes in case you don't like my sound\r\n - general code cleanup\r\n\r\nIf you still haven't rated, I'd recommend the Web+ version just because it fixes the nasty can't advance bug. I haven't added or changed any gameplay features.\r\n\r\nPOST COMPO ADVENTURE COMING SOON\r\n\r\n--- Thanks for playing! <3 Stevie\r\n\r\nFinished! Wow that was a long 72 hours.\r\n\r\nDeclivity is a space mining, kitty rescue operation, and rogue-like-like. It's a cross between Descent and Spelunky.\r\n\r\nFeaturing: Shops, shields, cats, three monster types, no lava, multiple levels (around 10! I'm too tired to count), an actual ending, statistics, high scores, AN ENTIRE STORY, sadness, love, and darkness.\r\n\r\nThis was my first real HTML5 game as well as my first rogue-like. Also the most complete game I think I've ever made.\r\n\r\nChrome recommended. Let me know how it works for you.\r\n\r\nClick: move and shoot and mine\r\nRight-click: shoot and mine (so you don't accidentally run into things)\r\n\r\nMore detail is on the game page.\r\n\r\nFeedback is greatly appreciated. Leave any bugs you find in the comments below. \r\n\r\nCredits:\r\nMain Design\/Programming: Stevie\r\nAdditional Artwork: Lily, Oryx\r\nMain Tester\/Additional (Cat) Sounds\/Cute Kid: Brenden\r\nAdditional Testing: Joanna, Lily \r\n\r\nAs always, thanks for playing! <3 Stevie\r\n","title":"Declivity"}
